This message is being sent to each WikiProject that participates in the WP 1.0 assessment system. On Saturday, January 23, 2010, the WP 1.0 bot will be upgraded. Your project does not need to take any action, but the appearance of your project's summary table will change. The upgrade will make many new, optional features available to all WikiProjects. Additional information is available at the WP 1.0 project homepage. — Carl (CBM · talk) 03:13, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Dravidian civilizations articles have been selected for the Wikipedia 0.8 release[edit]

We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

Recently, I saw the movie Vanaja, which is made with a deep respect and concern for the preservation of rural culture in Andhra Pradesh. I sent mail to the director, Mr Rajnesh Domalpalli, and he answered very nicely. He was excited about this WikiProject. He offered to release pictures that would be of use to us, and wrote further "[WP:DRAVCIV] must be a wonderful effort. I'd be happy to help them in any way I can, and give them whatever they need." Since part of what I enjoyed about this movie was the excellent photography, I'm grateful for this offer. But since I'm not an expert, I would appreciate if some participants could look at the movie website (in particular [1], [2], [3], and [4] - or better yet, watch the movie itself, as it is even possible to obtain pictures that haven't been posted yet) and point out any pictures that would help our coverage on Dravidian civilization. From the image descriptions, I came up with the following list of articles that could be improved or created with the pictures and descriptions. Of course, you're the experts, so it's up to you to decide which of these make sense, and you probably (hopefully) will have some other ideas:

Thai Pongal is currently tagged for needing more references, and according to the rules at Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries, must be omitted from the Main Page on January 15, 2012, unless the issue can be addressed. There are a little over 12 days to go, so hopefully that gives editors enough to time to take care of this. Thanks! howcheng{chat} 20:06, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi everyone. March is Women's History Month and I'm hoping a few folks here at WP:Dravidian civilization will have interest in putting on events (on and off wiki) related to women's roles in within Dravidian society. We've created an event page on English Wikipedia (please translate!) and I hope you'll find the inspiration to participate. These events can take place off wiki, like edit-a-thons, or on wiki, such as themes and translations. Please visit the page here: WikiWomen's History Month. Thanks for your consideration and I look forward to seeing events take place! SarahStierch (talk) 19:10, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Periyar E. V. Ramasamy, an article that your project may be interested in, has been nominated for an individual good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the reassessment page. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status will be removed from the article. AIRcorn(talk) 12:58, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.)Harej (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.
